• Why Does the Trailer Wiring Harness For a 2019 Hyundai Tucson Require a Power Wire
• The T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness part # 118812 which is a fit for a 2019 Hyundai Tucson does require a wire to be run to the vehicle's battery for power. The reason for this is because the vehicle's tail light circuits are not rated high enough for the additional amp draw of the trailer lights.

Anywhere you can secure the module is sufficient but you may need to use zip ties instead of the included tape. The manufacturer confirms the fit for all 2010-2019 Tucson models. Let me know if you need further help, and if so please include pictures of the issue for reference.

The converter box is designed to interpret the taillight wiring circuits of your vehicle and then draw the power needed for the trailer wiring from the battery of your tow vehicle.
